I really really really do not want all of the attention on me as I walk down the aisle. I don't want people to stand for me either. I would feel most comfortable if the bridesmaids went down, I trailed behind them, then the groomsmen and then the groom. My fiancé is very opposed to this idea, and he...

My fiancé is very opposed to this idea, and he likes the more traditional processional order, which I completely abhor.
How should I go about this?

Honestly, you won't even notice, it's all a blur, all you will see is him waiting on you at the Altar.
I hate being the center of attention and I forgot about the guests, I only "saw" 2 people out of 50.
My Daddy walked me down the aisle, it's not as bad, as the worrying about it in your head...I promise! If I can do it, anyone can

If it's more attention on you than anyone else during the procession that you don't want, what about having the procession be the wedding party as usual, and both you and your groom enter directly to the altar (from the side or behind, depending on your setup - just not down the aisle)?

Sometimes the groom starts out at the altar before the procession begins or after walking his parents to their seats, so if you're doing that he could then go straight to the altar, the wedding party would follow with the procession, and you could go straight to the altar, maybe from the opposite side the groom did, if that's accessible. Or the wedding party could do their processional, and then you and your fiancé could enter straight to the altar from either side. I actually think that would look really nice, like the wedding party was setting the stage for you both!
